We have checked application logs for authentication records as the TechNet article suggests but non are to be found.  We have re-set all domain passwords and shut off all client machines for a period of time.  The spams keep populating our SMTP queue.

Frustration is now setting in as we are configured as we should be yet we are still an open relay.  Thanks for your help.
